Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
I get it! I have my share of depression at times too.
You don’t have to justify or explain your feelings to me.
I think some of the ‘Pollyanna’ advice is ridiculous too!
I don’t think we can get ‘over’ things with any of those silly or foolish recommendations either.
We work through issues. Sometimes it takes a bit of time. Perhaps more than we like.
I am so sorry that you are down but you have valid reasons and I will not question or criticize you about it.
I wish that I could be of more help. All I can offer is support.
I hope things will improve for you soon.
In the meantime, you are welcome to vent anytime. I am sincere in my empathy.
you can delete if you come back in the 30 minute edit window as long as you replace the comment with something else, even a period will do
Of course, the parades are canceled. It’s fun to see our creative spirit is still alive! We have thousands of homes that are decorated like floats. So cool!
My doctor says that all women still need physical examinations until the age of 66.
Once a woman reaches 66, she no longer requires a physical examination.
So, in my opinion you have every right to feel as you do.
I hope that you can resolve this issue with your doctor. Please share your concerns with your doctors.
There is also methocarbamol combined with other pain killers which I have used alone and they don't help FM pain at all for me so I prefer the plain methocarbamol.
Robaxacet - Acetaminophen/Methocarbamol
Robax Platinum - Ibuprofen/Methocarbamol
Robaxisal Extra Strength - Acetylsalicylic acid/Methocarbamol
I hope it helps you. You may feel the relaxing effect when you first take it. The music is really helping my sleep and I know that is part of the equation. But I don't know if I could soak myself in it as I am if I didn't live alone.
Pumpkin is safe. Neither of them went out yesterday.
Gershun - Minus 2? I wish!!! I guess it is what you are used to. But, I will never get used to minus 30 and worse.
Oh, that is cold!
It could be cold until March?
Trading is not necessary Gershun. There is plenty of sun in SoCal to go around. 🌻🌼☀️🌤🌅
Respect. I have a lot of respect for anyone living in that much cold.
You are strong to be able to do what needs to be done now.
The birthday card for DD will always be a sweet memory from Grandma.
She must have been an amazing Mom, thinking of others at the end of her life.
Sorry for your loss.
This morning it was 19 degrees! What a shocker!
In the night, I dropped the digital thermometer, it was accidentally reset to Celsius.
Still, 65 is cold when you want to get out of bed.
Sorry the rest of you are freezing. Hoping little Pumpkin stays inside.
Thanks everyone for your advice and well wishes.
Will be looking up Robax.
I am a mess.
its...bittersweet isn’t it? Is that the right word to described it? I remember when my MIL passed, we had to go through a couple old trunks she had, to find pictures for the slide show. One of the trunks was FULL of memories. She kept her kids report cards, writing assignments and art work and every card they gave to her. Every card from the grandkids too. None of her children knew she had saved all of that stuff. We didn’t know she was so sentimental! And the kids got to relive memories for those few hours we went through the trunk. We laughed and we cried a lot that day.
Your daughter will appreciate those memories.
How sweet of your mom to keep them.
So sorry that you have had pain with your fibromyalgia.
Your husband is a sweetheart!
Hoping you feel better very soon!
Having a fibromyalgia flare-up.
I want to be numb, on my bum and my whole backside. Legs and foot too.
20 minutes max. Just a moment without pain would be nice.
My dH rubbed my shoulder. Just like fibro knots, they are painful to the touch. There was a sore spot, he rubbed it out! Felt so much better! Of course, this hurts his arthritic hands, so cannot do it often. I so appreciate him. Then I have to rub his neck. 🤷🤷♂️
The sun is still out, the high today was 74 degrees. Hubs is wearing shorts.
It was a good Sunday in SoCal.
So, I am not going to wish for snow or rain. I will be content. Even though I need to ice my perifomis muscle, and sitting on a snow patch would help.
No complaints though.
OTOH it's a sunny 84°F in Jamaica this morning.......I'm dreaming of warm beaches🏖️🌴
Geaton, don't they use block heaters there?
Brrrrrr, minus 7 sounds brutal to me!
We get a fair amount of rain here in Louisiana.
But the constant rain. That I could do without.
